Hello,
I have XBMC on my XBox and am so tired of loosing my settings when I get a new version.

I use the 360 Skin
I have mappings for Aps, Games, and Emulators
I also have Mappings for my Music & Video settings for Samba Share, My Network, f:\Music, etc.....

How can I update to a nex version and get all my settings back, or keep them in place?
Can it be done?

Just backup your userdb folder and put it back in after the update.

BTW...the "Readme" file in the update explains that

Use the upgrade script that comes with the T3ch releases or follow this:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Updating_/_Upgrading_XBMC

The easiest thing to do is move the Userdata folder to another location (i.e. e:\apps\xbmcdata), then modify the profiles.xml to point to it (e.g.

<profiles>
<lastloaded>0</lastloaded>
<useloginscreen>false</useloginscreen>
<profile>
<name>Master user</name>
<directory>e:\Apps\XBMCdata\userdata</directory>
<thumbnail></thumbnail>
<lastdate></lastdate>
<useavpacksettings>true</useavpacksettings>
</profile>
</profiles>


This will allow you to pretty much drop the new XBMC on top of the old. You just have to pay attention to the build notes to make sure you keep your userdata up to date etc...

Hope this helps
